Answer:

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the a gle is 30° northwest, then it means the resultant force will be horizontal and as such;

Resultant horizontal force = 165 * cos 30

Resultant horizontal force = 142.89

Approximating to a whole number gives;

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N
